It was almost past eight in the evening. Abhishek and Siddharth were sleeping like logs on their bed, the afterglow still remaining on their faces. Siddharth was curled up on his side, and Abhishek's hands were embracing his waist. Abhishek's face was buried in Siddharth's chest. They were ,of course oblivious to the presence of an intruder outside, who had conveniently snapped photos of them entwined, while they were too lost in the throes of pleasure.Initially there was shock and disgust on the man's face, seeing such intimate acts between two men..
But soon, an evil smirk replaced those expressions " Well, who knew that these two were this close,and shameless fags at that! To think that men should prefer to bed men,what has the world come to? Anyways, I should be thankful... This, is definitely the best way to break the family that snatched away my beloved... I should be really lucky, that I was send here today,of all the days... Right when they decided to succumb to debauchery!"
He then saved those photos in his mobile phone, already planning out the tornado he was about to unleash into the peaceful household..

The movie had a good start, but it had become pretty predictable somewhere in between. Neha was getting bored by the minute,and Arjith, who was sitting beside her,was also stifling a yawn. She leaned, and placed a subtle kiss on his cheek. Siddhi and Prateek were chatting away in whispers. Arjun was very much engrossed in the movie,that he did not notice the flirting couples on his left and right.
Neha felt pitiful. Arjun still hadn't come across anyone who sparked interest in him. She leaned onto Arjith's shoulder and asked him " Shouldn't we tell our parents about us?"
Arjith nodded, and thought about it." Hmm.. will your parents oppose us?"
" Nope... My parents are pretty modern and, very friendly... You have already visited my house a few times,and my mother already dotes on you. I'm sure she won't object to you becoming her son in law. Papa.. Papa won't object once he is clear of your intentions... What about Avinash uncle and Deepthi Aunty? Will they accept this? My family is not as rich and influential as yours..." She was looking into his eyes hopefully. He stroked her cheeks and said
" Bapu won't have a problem, he is too humble to care about all that. All he will want is a girl who loves me truly.. But ma, well, she will need some convincing... Apparently, she still expects a traditional daughter in law. But, even if my parents disagree, I know that that won't be a problem" Arjith said, while thinking seriously..
Neha's curiosity was spiked " Why is that?"
" Because, if they object,I know that my sherni (lioness) will kidnap me and we'll elope..." He grinned. She smiled with a smug look,which said 'glad you know that'
" That's true... I have no problem in kidnapping my princess from his house and eloping... Perhaps you'll be the first one in your family to elope?"

"Prateek, I told Sid about us!" Siddhi said as a matter of fact. Prateek caressed her forearm and said " Good for us. For all I know, he might have guessed it already!...."
